According to news reportingoriginating from Storrs, Connecticut , by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Near real -time (NRT)monitoring o f land disturbances holds great importance for delivering emergency aid, mitigat ing negativesocial and ecological impacts, and distributing resources for disas ter recovery. Many past NRT techniqueswere built upon examining the overall cha nge magnitude of a spectral anomaly with a predefined threshold,namely the unsu pervised approach.”Financial support for this research came from USGS-NASA Landsat Science Team (LS T) Program.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Conne cticut, “However,their lack of fully considering spectral change direction, cha nge date, and pre-disturbance conditions oftenled to low detection sensitivity and high commission errors, especially when only a few satellite observationswe re available at the early disturbance stage, eventually resulting in a longer la g to produce a reliabledisturbance map. For this study, we developed a novel su pervised machine learning approach guided byhistorical disturbance datasets to accelerate land disturbance monitoring. This new approach consistedof two phase s. For the first phase, the supervised approach applied retrospective analysis o n historicalHarmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) datasets from 2015 to 2021, com bined with several open disturbanceproducts. The disturbance model was construc ted for each condition of consecutive anomaly number,with the aim of enhancing the specificity for delineating early-stage disturbance regions. Then, these stage-based models were applied for an NRT scenario to predict disturbance probabil ities with 2022 HLSimages incrementally on a weekly basis. To demonstrate the c apability of this new approach, we developedan operational NRT system incorpora ting both the unsupervised and supervised approach. Latency andaccuracy were ev aluated against 3000 samples that were randomly selected from the five most infl uentialdisturbance events of the United States in 2022, based on labels and dis turbance dates interpreted fromdaily PlanetScope images. The evaluation showed that the supervised approach required 15 days (sincethe start of the disturbanc e event) to reach the plateau of its F1 curve (where most disturbance pixels aredetected with high confidence), seven days earlier with roughly 0.2 F1 score im provement compared to theunsupervised approach (0.733 vs. 0.546 F1 score). Furt her analysis showed the improvement was mainlydue to the substantial decrease i n commission errors (17.7% vs 44.4%). The latency com ponent analysisillustrated that the supervised approach only took an average of 4.1 days to yield the first disturbance alertat its fastest daily updating spe ed, owing to its decreased sensitivity lag.”

According to newsreporting originating in Jiangsu, Peopl e’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Gassensors play a crucial role in various industries and applications. In recent years, there h as been anincreasing demand for gas sensors in society.”The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the China University of Mining andTechnology, “However, the current method for screening gas-sensiti ve materials is time-, energy-, andcost-consuming. Consequently, an imperative exists to enhance the screening efficiency. In this study,we proposed a collabo rative screening strategy through integration of density functional theory and machine learning. Taking zinc oxide (ZnO) as an example, the responsiveness of Zn O to the target gas wasdetermined quickly on the basis of the changes in the el ectronic state and structure before and after gasadsorption. In this work, the adsorption energy and electronic and structural characteristics of ZnO afterads orbing 24 kinds of gases were calculated. These computed features served as the basis for training amachine learning model. Subsequently, various machine learn ing and evaluation algorithms were utilizedto train the fast screening model. T he importance of feature values was evaluated by the AdaBoost,Random Forest, an d Extra Trees models. Specifically, charge transfer was assigned importance valu esof 0.160, 0.127, and 0.122, respectively, ranking as the highest among the 11 features. Following closelywas the d-band center, which was presumed to exert influence on electrical conductivity and, consequently,adsorption properties. W ith 5-fold cross-validation using the Extra Tree accuracy, the 24-sample data set achieved an accuracy of 88%. The 72-sample data set achieved an a ccuracy of 78% using multilayerperceptron after 5-fold cross-vali dation, with both data sets exhibiting low standard deviations.”

A dedicatedidentification method for PKM doe s not exist, however. Such a method is introduced here for the largeclass of De lta-like PKM exploiting the parallel structure and making use of model simplific ations specificto this class. The proposed method guarantees physical consisten cy of the identified parameters, and inparticular a positive definite generaliz ed mass matrix. The method is applied to a simulated model withexactly known pa rameters, which allows for verification of the obtained dynamic parameters. The resultsshow that the generalized mass matrix, the acceleration, and the Corioli s, gravitation and friction termsin the equations of motion (EOM) are well appr oximated. The second example is a real 4-DOF industrialDelta robot ABB IRB 360- 6/1600. For this robot, a physically consistent set of inertia and friction parameters is identified from measurements.”
